Uzbekistan leads in FTTH test share among countries with comparable GDP per capita

According to nPerf data, Uzbekistan ranked first in the share of FTTH connection tests among economies similar in terms of GDP per capita. From January to September 2026, the share of 'fiber-to-the-home' connections accounted for 16.4% of the total tests conducted in the country.

The comparative analysis covered states whose GDP per capita ranged from $3,800 to $6,500 USD. In this group, Uzbekistan demonstrated the highest share of FTTH tests.

Other countries in the comparison showed the following results: Morocco registered an FTTH test share of 15.4%, followed by Ukraine with a figure of 12.9%, Indonesia took third place with 11.9%, and Vietnam recorded 4.4%.

FTTH technology, or fiber-to-the-home, provides a direct fiber-optic connection directly into the user's residence. It is characterized by higher upload and download speeds, as well as lower latency compared to some other types of fixed connections.

These technical characteristics are particularly important for remote work and high-resolution video streaming. Differences in FTTH test shares between different countries reflect the uneven development of high-speed access infrastructure, which in turn affects the quality of fixed broadband connection available to users.

nPerf operates as an independent platform designed to assess internet connection quality based on real user experience. The platform uses the results of millions of such tests to create analytical data that operators can use to optimize their networks.

Foreign direct investment in Uzbekistan increased by almost a third in the first half of 2026

The volume of foreign direct investment received in Uzbekistan during the first half of 2026 showed significant growth, increasing by 32.5% compared to the same period last year.

According to data presented by the Eurasian Development Bank in its September Macroeconomic Review, alongside this growth, capital investments also increased by 17.5%.

Reasons for the increase in investment activity

The EDB links such high investment activity to key elements contributing to the acceleration of the country's economy, which also includes stable consumer demand.

The increase in investments was driven by the active development of several sectors: industry, construction, and the service sector. The bank's analysts believe that these areas had the greatest impact on the economic dynamics of Uzbekistan in the first half of the reporting period.

It was previously noted that industry was the leading direction for attracting investment in Uzbekistan, receiving 100.5 trillion soms in the first half of the year.
